Typically, one or several test scripts can be associated
with a test case, as well as one or several test execution records, which are often
used to execute or run a test.
To create a new test case:
From the left sidebar, point to the Construction icon
() and
click Create Test Case.
The
new test case opens, with a Table of Contents on the left and an editor
on the right.
At the top of the new test case window, enter a new test
case name.
Select a test case template from the list.
Complete the test case Summary section or assign the Summary
to another team member to complete.
To complete the
test plan Summary:
Select a Category, Function, and Theme.
You
can use these attribute categories to organize your test cases into
various groupings that can later be sorted. You can also add your
own categories.
To add new Categories, Functions, and Themes,
or to add your own test case category types, click the Manage
Test Case Categories icon ().
Assign a numerical value for the relative weight of
the test case.
You can use the weight as a means of
tracking the relative difficulty or importance of the test case. A
test case that requires twice as much time to execute could have double
the weight as another test case.
Add a description of the test case.
To assign the Summary section, or any section of the test
plan, to another team member to complete:
Click Work Item: Create to open
the Create Work Item window.
In the Summary field, enter a summary of the work item.
In the Owned By field, select an owner to which you
want to assign the work item.
In the Due field, assign a work item due date.
Click OK.

Generate or create test execution records for
the test case.

Optionally, click Manage Sections to
add your own, customized test case sections or to remove sections
that you do not need.
Click Save.
At any point after you create the new test case, you can
add it to one or more test plans.
Optionally, click the Print View icon () in the upper
right corner of the test case to display a printable version of the
test case.
